Three Syracuse players declare for draft

Syracuse, N.Y -- Three Syracuse basketball players, including sophomore guard Jonny Flynn, said they are making themselves eligible for this summer's NBA draft.

Flynn, Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris all said Thursday they would enter the draft. Devendorf and Harris each has one year of NCAA eligibility remaining while Flynn has two, a release on the Syracuse Web site said.

Flynn said he won't hire an agent so has until June 15 to withdraw his name from draft consideration to be allowed to return to the Syracuse roster.

Flynn averaged 17.4 points and 6.7 assists a game last season for the Orange.

He had 34 points and 11 assists in Syracuse's epic six-overtime win over Connecticut in the Big East Conference tournament.

Devendorf, academically a senior, averaged 15.7 points a game last season. He missed the 2007-08 season because of a knee injury.

Harris averaged 12 points and 8.1 rebounds last season.

Syracuse was 28-10 last season and ranked 12th in the final USA Today-ESPN coaches poll. The Orange lost in the NCAA tournament regional semifinals to Oklahoma.
